Watch, Get Gardening and Learn Together @ BPL Program Portal

The Seeds of Diversity Canada Library is a collection of over 2900 regionally-adapted and rare seed varieties, backing up the work of their member seed savers and Canadian heritage seed companies. Although they don't actively distribute these seeds to the general public yet, they keep them viable and available for future gardeners and farmers. As a not-for-profit project, they're dependant on volunteers and donors to:

  • Adopt a seed into the library, protecting it in perpetuity
  • Grow out seed and return freshly-saved seed to them
  • Donate varieties from your seed collection
